I am a youth leader taking a group to Port Elizabeth. Because of the way our flights worked out we had to spend the night in Johannesburg. I emailed 4 different hotels and Premiere Hotel was the only one to get back to me in a timely fashion. They were extremely helpful and responsive. Mercy was great to work with. They also arraigned transportation for all 34 of us from the airport to the hotel and once at the hotel we all ate in their restaurant and the food was wonderful. Pete, the restaurant manager, was extremely helpful. Overall Premiere hotel took what was the most stressful part of our trip and executed it wonderfully. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The overall amenities of the hotel were absolutely wonderful. The management of this hotel should be proud. 10/10 I cannot recommend them enough.

I hosted an event at Thaba Eco Hotel and it was pure bliss. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my needs. Thank you Brontii-ann for constantly checking up on me and jumping in to reschedule my time lines when the decor lady was late; that genuinely helped ease my stress. Armande thank you for ensuring that my guests are taken care of, for willing to jump in and do my decor because my decor lady was awol. You had a plan B just so my event could continue as planned and I genuinely appreciate that.

Excellent property, best of breakfasts, easy location

Reviewed By Ron H

Stayed here for 2 nights while in Johannesburg. We were originally on the 11th floor but moved to 19th right away due to music or loud noise from a neighbor. They were very good about moving us immediately. Room's were identical and both very nice and well equipped with electric outlets for US, EU, S.Africa and USB's, coffee and whatever is needed. Breakfast buffet was outstanding, menu of cooked items, must be among the best. Nicest part was the staff who let me keep the room until 3 as my flight was not until that evening. That made it much easier for us to visit the mall and return to the room and seemed very nice and respectful. Hotel can be loud in the atrium and when the door was opened but it must be well sound proofed as we did not hear if from the room. Suggest requesting a higher room though as it may be quieter.

A Wonderful Stay

Reviewed By Alimunxx1

I highly recommend staying at the Syrene Boutique Hotel. This is such a lovely and cosy safe place to stay. All the staff are so friendly and they really do go out of their way to be extra helpful when needed. The food is absolutely delicious. I looked forward to breakfast every morning. The rooms are large, very clean and comfortable with a powerful rainfall shower. You are within walking distance of shops and some nice restaurants. We were thoroughly looked after throughout our stay. Tony and Dani the owners were so lovely and helped us with all queries about the area. They arranged private transport for us as well. I have to say this hotel has to be one of my most favourite stays in all my travels. I will return for sure. 5 star review from me. Well done to the Syrene Team.

Good hotel but great gym

Reviewed By jonnyb205

The hotel itself is ok, staff are attentive and helpful. The rooms are a little dated but the best thing about the hotel is by far the gym. The gym is split across three levels, has a 25m swimming pool, sauna, steam, jacuzzi etc. Would definitely recommend for anyone on business that wants a good room with very good workout facilities.

A total of 75 elegantly decorated rooms are offered, comprising 51 Deluxe King Bed Rooms, 8 Deluxe Twin Bed Rooms, 12 Executive Rooms and 3 Luxury Suites. A Universal Accessible room is also available featuring roll-in shower, lowered facilities and a 24-hour monitored emergency help alarm.
